Helpful Score: 5

This was the August 2009 selection of my book group. A memoir. To tell the truth I judged this book by its cover, ugh, sheep farming. But ... I found it was a good telling of the struggle with personal boundaries, goal, life styles that can be handled within a relationship so both people enjoy their lives and the success of a new endeavor in life. The author's writing style is clear, sometimes filled with humor, and each life episode rings true. The construction of short chapters adds to its readability. It is also about the aspects of "knowing" your food, issues of healthy eating, the learning to farm and raise animals in low impact ways. The author and her partner still have the farm and a very well done website.
